Global Results Product Marketing Salary Survey 2023 Salary After exploring – in depth – how various environmental, personal, and professional factors impact satisfaction product marketers’ salaries throughout the world, a critical question emerges: How satisfied are PMMs with their current compensation levels? To investigate, we evaluated the correlation between reported earnings and subjective happiness with pay. Encouragingly, a majority of respondents (55%) rated their salary satisfaction at a 7 or higher, with less than 20% rating it as a four or lower. At the upper end of the scale, we can see a link between satisfaction and median earnings, with respondents selecting 8 and above reporting the highest incomes, well above the global median salary. However, lower down the satisfaction scale, the link between happiness and earnings is less clear. PMMs who rated their salary satisfaction at a 5 or 6 were actually found to be earning less than those who went as low as 1 or 2. 25 20 15 % of PMMs10 5 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 $75,000 $107,000 $98,750 $76,294 $81,500 $94,000 $81,728 $95,000 $122,000 $150,000 $161,000 Salary and salary satisfaction 63
